I think Maxine is an unusually ugly-sounding and looking name and I do feel sorry for any child saddled with it. I know perfectly well it has some history and it's a feminine form of max and blah blah blah, but the name reminds me of a mean witchy old woman spying on the neighbors with binoculars and chasing kids off her grass with a broom.
And it also sounds like medicine, like the Bactine disinfectant spray that burned like fire when you sprayed a skinned knee with it.
And I hate the name Max for a boy, and for a dog or cat.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
